My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Pairs of curved glulams are bolted to the posts.

    Say you wanted to add a rope swing for kids to swing in to the pool. Can it support that weight?

    Depends on where the swing is attached to. If you wanted to hang it out at the end of the cantilever who are putting a dynamic load way off center of the support. I'd have a structural engineer check the connection and sizes of the beams and posts.
